Le Quai Son

The Ardennes


Look for the ghost mural when finding this central yet hidden delight just off Pl du Bronze. It serves Lupulus beer on draught and good coffee. In summer, relax on a big open terrace while staring up at La Roche's castle across the river and snacking on pancakes, bagels and burgers.

During the Christmas holidays, the space is taken up by a wooden Savoie-style cabin where you can order fondues, raclettes and tartiflette until 10pm Thursday to Sunday. Occasional concerts are also hosted.
